Fireside chats

The Fireside chats was a series of 30 radio broadcasts from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to millions of American citizens from 1933 to 1941 during the Great Depression. It was a rare occurrence of an American president talking to his people over mass media, and it was much-needed reassurance during a time of economic troubles. His broadcasts had the goal of bringing up the mood of the uninspired public, who were going through economic troubles, and they became signs of America's growing optimism as the Depression came to a close with the advent of World War II for the USA in 1941.
